Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff (Print)

Tender ground beef and noodles in a creamy, savory sauce for a comfort-packed weeknight dinner.

# Ingredients:

01 - 450 g ground beef
02 - 200 g egg noodles
03 - 310 ml milk
04 - 240 ml chicken broth
05 - 60 ml sour cream
06 - 60 g butter
07 - 30 g all-purpose flour
08 - 3.75 g salt
09 - 2.5 g coarse black pepper
10 - 2.5 g garlic powder
11 - 2.5 g onion powder

# Steps:

01 - Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until evenly browned and no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat and set beef aside on a plate.
03 - In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk constantly for 2 minutes until a smooth paste forms.
04 - Gradually add chicken broth to the roux, whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until sauce begins to thicken, about 3–4 minutes.
05 - Slowly pour in milk, stirring continuously over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes until sauce thickens and is smooth and creamy.
06 - Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and coarse black pepper, ensuring seasonings are evenly distributed.
07 - Reduce heat to low. Add cooked egg noodles and the reserved ground beef to the skillet. Stir until all components are thoroughly combined and evenly heated.
08 - Gently mix in sour cream until fully incorporated into the sauce, creating a creamy and tangy finish.
09 - Serve hot, accompanied by your choice of steamed vegetables or crusty bread.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, use full-fat sour cream to achieve a richer, creamier texture.
